words pour out bitter they cut into your skin
my poison leaks into you and hurts you
as i became absorbed again by the ugliness within
i throw smooth stones at my refection
hoping one day the ripples
they make will turn me into someone else.
as the water settles i gaze into my own disgusted eyes
see my wretched body the flaws they don't lie.
you say you can't take my bitterness
you are tired of my sickness
you say you wish i saw what you see
then you leave.
i sit at the edge,
with my toes in the pond left alone
with my reflection looking into the eyes
that hate what they see as much as i do.
